Typically, employees who have been terminated due to reasons beyond their control, such as layoffs or lack of work, may be eligible for EI benefits. However, employees who have been terminated for misconduct or voluntarily left their job without just cause may not be eligible for EI benefits。
你说你爱人是因为 unsatisfactory performance 和 unqualified skills,这两样不能叫 misconduct。所以 notice 定性得算是雇主 voluntarily terminate for convenience。这样就有理由符合 EI 的 eliligbility。
如果我是你,会争把 termination for cause 变成 termination for conveience。
可以先报 Ministry of Labour 说 workplace 有 racial discrimination 和 bodily abuse。如果 Ministry of Labour 查下来,威胁雇主说如果不想继续下去,就得把 termination for cause 变成 termination for convience。好说好散。
